Millennials are to thank for the remarkable decline in America's divorce rate, says new study
An analysis by sociology professor Philip Cohen shows that millennials are even delaying marrying their partners until they have stable careers and finances
Millennials have been described as being the most cautious generation so far and this claim is quite evident when you see the declining US divorce rate. According to an analysis conducted by sociology professor Philip Cohen from the University of Maryland using data from the US Census, the divorce rate in the country has dropped drastically by 18 % from 2008 to 2016.
This can all be credited to Generation X, and specifically, millennials, because they are very particular about their partners. The analysis also shows that millennials are even delaying marrying their partners until they have stable careers and finances. Cohen has, in particular, credited young women for the decline in the divorce rate.
